The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Warmlake: your questions answered
Is Warmlake close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it’s outdoors.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
